Secret Players

These codes have been tested on a Maximum Hangtime coin-op machine. Many to most will also work on the original Hangtime and its home console conversions--but you can figure which ones do and don't work on your own. Don't ask me--I don't know.

CODE NAME PIN # REAL NAME IN-GAME NAME ANNOUNCED NAME THE SKINNY

JAPPLE 6660 Jeff Johnson JAPPLE "Japple" Programmer
JC 0000 John Carlton CARLTON "Carlton" Artist. It's possible that the "CARLTN" entry on the high score tables is a seperate code, but it's more likely that it was inserted before John's real login code was finalized.

Powerup Codes

Enter these in at the "Tonight's Matchup" screen. If you press down on the joystick, all numerical codes will "lock in" for that game. Some codes will only work if all human players enter them, while others will work for a two-player team if only one player enters them. Everything should work on both Hangtime and Maximum Hangtime unless otherwise noted.
